 While selecting the PC kits for the purpose of gaming many people think the importance of the processor or some of the graphic cards. While buying the gaming rig one needs to focus on investing a good money on the Power Supply Unit which is commonly called as PSU in the technical parlance. The PSU used in the other generic products are not highly reliable and always provide inadequate power to the internal circuits of the computers. With such inadequate power the PC many not function properly and will have more down time, which will create a flutter in the minds of the active gamers. Such weak PSUs may not fight the heat battle which generally dominates all electronic products around the world. In order to make out a full potential to the gaming rig it is mandatory to buy a high quality and high power rated PSU to avoid frequent breakdowns.

 Next vital point is the selection of the processor for the self-made computers. As the modern games cannot use more than 2CPUs, selection of 2 CPUs seems to be an ideal choice.  Usage of 4 CPUs may be avoided which is considered to be highly expensive. A simple analogy can be stated here in order to explain this particular point of selecting a high-end processor. A PC gaming is like riding a bicycle on a down hill. One need not have a geared cycle for the purpose of going down the hill and in similar way one need not use the complex 4CPUs while assembling gaming PCs.

 Selection of RAM (Random Access Memory) is considered to be an important factor while making the PCs for the purpose of gaming. It is here all the game files are needed to run in the entire computer system. Hence one should go in for a higher RAM in order to have a smooth game. For a normal game rig, a normal 2GB RAM is well sufficient to run all the modern games.

 When it comes to graphic cards a good quality card will do to produce graphics in the games. Last but not the least; a good Operating System is mandatory while making the PCs at home. The latest Microsoft Version 7 is recommended for the purpose of stability and performance of the games.

 Undoubtedly the matter of cost efficiency seems to be advantage of building a game PC at home.

Build a killer gaming PC in under $1,000 - Part 1

Ah, the self-built PC. It wasn’t until the turn of this century that computer components were finally affordable enough for the regular Joe and Vlad to build their own, but we made up for lost time in a hurry. The insatiable appetite for newer and better hardware intermingled with the wealth of knowledge that was the internet to produce some wonderful DIY PCs. Oh sure, garish LED lights would peek out at you from some overzealous builder’s case, but at least they were a sign of the close bond shared between a machine and the human that built it. Modern trends have threatened to leave the custom-built computer behind, what with multifunctional home consoles and constantly connected mobile devices, but there’s still one overwhelming reason to want a good old desktop tower: gaming. The highest possible visual fidelity is still reserved for the PC gamer, with games like the recent Battlefield 3 exhibiting breathtaking graphical detail. As keen gamers ourselves, we thought it...

Build a killer gaming PC in under $1,000 - PART 3

MOTHERBOARD: ASUS P8P67 PRO REV 3.1 ($144.99) If you’re going to pursue the path of the overclocker, it’s of paramount importance that you find a motherboard that can withstand the additional stresses your sped-up CPU will inflict upon it. Asus’s P8P67 Pro is an established champ in that category, with the company also providing a handy and comprehensive overclocking guide over on the Hard Forum. The P67 chipset is Intel’s performance-oriented setup and Asus outfits it with all the extras you’ll need: four 6Gbps SATA connections, four USB 3.0 jacks, Bluetooth 2.1, 8-channel audio, and support for dual-card graphics solutions such as Nvidia's SLI or AMD's CrossFire. In place of the old school BIOS, you get the fresh and new Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, which performs all the roles of a BIOS, but does it with a much friendlier graphical UI that also lets you use your mouse. Asus also throws in a heap of power-tweaking options and fail-safes to prevent yo...

Build a killer gaming PC in under $1,000 - PART 2

CPU: INTEL CORE I5-2500K ($209.99) When processor price wars happen, they typically take place at or around the $200 mark. It's the sweet spot for consumers on a tight budget, mostly because it tends to be populated by high-end CPU architectures with a little less power than the $300 to $600 flagship models. The i5-2500K is just such a chip, and it has quickly developed a reputation as the best value Sandy Bridge processor. In its stock configuration, it runs four cores at 3.3GHz each, but the heart of its widespread appeal is in this CPU’s ability to operate at speeds of 4GHz and above. The K in the model number denotes the unlocked multiplier on the 2500K, which will allow you to overclock it to your heart’s content (or, more realistically, as far as your cooling will allow). If you have extra room in your budget, you can step up to the Core i7-2600K ($320), which adds some extra cache (super fast on-chip memory), accelerates the stock speed, and seems to have a...
